• make decisions and plan with specialist consultants explaining how our studies can help you.

The seminar includes a free visit to see forecasters at work at the Met Office.
 

Global temperatures are expected to increase by some 3 °C by the end of the 21st century - which raises serious issues for all areas of government and industry. With the expected high rate of change in temperatures, people are concerned with:

• The potential impacts of such increases
• The limited ability of such increases
• The limited ability of natural ecosystems and of human activities to adapt to these rapid changes
   

Our climate change training programmes tackle these issues and more - and focus on the impact of climate change on specific industry sectors, including:

• Agriculture
• Environment
• Energy
• Water
• Insurance
• Transport
• Building and construction
• Recreation and tourism
• Health

The Met Office's Hadley Centre is a world-renowned centre for climate change prediction and research. Our scientists have developed climate models to predict global (and UK) climate changes over the next 20, 50 and 80 years. Our expertise covers:

• Analysis of the potential impacts on your organisation
• Advice and support for decision-making and strategy planning
• Offering help in understanding the effects of climate change and in keeping financial risks manageable

To help achieve this, we provide:
